Johnson & Johnson

Johnson & Johnson is an American multinational corporation that develops medical devices, pharmaceutical products, and consumer packaged goods.

Industry: Pharmaceutical

Location: Global

Challenges:

New DSCSA compliance regulations meant Johnson & Johnson needed to introduce new transparency into its global supply chain. The company’s goals included:

• Becoming fully serialized
• Achieving greater visibility
• Implementing WMS and WCS systems changes that would make for track and trace compliance

Solutions Implemented:

Johnson & Johnson found a comprehensive solution to support cradle-to-grave tracking within the distribution center:

• STEPLogic Trace

Benefits:

Johnson & Johnson was the first major pharmaceutical manufacturer to be completely serialized in 2017, well ahead of the 2023 deadline. It achieved:

• Tremendous agility both in how the system would track and trace serial numbers and in how those numbers would be transmitted between systems
• A total investment of 70% less than originally estimated
